Version 1.47 is now very fast, credit due to only updating the widgets that have only changed. This has significantly improved both the time it takes to saves a page and the speed it takes to regain the editing screen.

From the author: "I just spent a lot of time profiling CPU usage and tried to eliminate as many bottlenecks as possible. The major change was only loading each widget form when you actually click on the widget, rather then preloading them all."

A drag-n-drop page layout plugin which is geared for the layperson. Easily layout pages for different formats. WordPress Skyway will provide demonstrations which will show you how this plugin allows you to add images, columns, video and then stylize your page to look like magazine, blog or a combination of several styles - all without have to ask a coder to assist you.

WordPress Skyway will help make you a pro at utilizing Page Builder which is basic to creating interesting pages. Which means:

Place a WordPress widget anywhere in the page body and not just in the sidebars

Create multiple columns while having different columns grouping on the same page

Add Page Builder widgets which extends what can function on a page Columns do not have to be rigid nor do each have to be the same width, they can be stretched wider or narrower by dragging the blocks.

Unfortunately, Page Builder does not offer dynamic column layout as seem above. The image shows the bottom of the page is trimmed evenly - this means that the content flows over to the next column depending on the readers browser's font setting and/or page orientation.
